Order a recycling box or food caddy
Delivery delays
Delivery of recycling boxes and caddies are taking longer than usual.
If you ordered within the last 4 weeks, please don’t order again. We’re working through all requests and expect to complete them within 4 weeks. We apologise for the inconvenience.
Order free recycling boxes or food caddies for your household recycling and food waste.
Before you order
You should:
- Check our guidance on collections from houses
- Make sure your property is eligible for kerbside recycling collections
- Check the size of our boxes and caddies
- Get your old box or caddy ready for collection, if you have one
Properties that aren't eligible
Recycling boxes are not usually available for residents in:
- Blocks of flats or estates with more than eight units
- Flats above shops
- Properties without suitable space at the front to store them such as a garden, driveway or yard
If you order a blue or black box and your property's not eligible to use them, they will not be sent to you.
Read our Waste from a purpose built flat page to find out how you can recycle.
If you have an old box or caddy
We can collect your old broken box or caddy when we deliver your new one. We'll recycle any old broken boxes and addies we collect.
If you’d like an old box or caddy collected, please leave it clearly visible in your front garden.
